The Vikings picked up the 26-year-old quarterback in late December from the New York Giants practice squad. He was a 15th pick of the fifth round in the 2009 draft after playing two seasons at Sam Houston State.
Bomar has been getting practice reps behind Donovan McNabb, first-round pick Christian Ponder and Joe Webb.
The Vikings did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
